2ndDiv: One problem Gov. Palin wouldn’t have had that Senator Santorum did was funding.
WPaCon: I doubt it would have made the difference.
Wrong. It would have made all the difference in the world. I don’t know what state you are in, but PA has been bombarded by the Romney Slash and Burn campaign for a couple months now hitting Santorum harder than they hit Obummer. Cash is what runs campaigns. If Santorum had better name recognition or had a built in base like Palin had left from ‘08, he could have smacked Milt down by being able to match his cash. Just look how far Milt has drug his worthless @$$ on just money alone. He doesn’t have any coherent message like the others did or any real following other than inside the DC beltway.
Money IS politics. Without it you are behind the 8 ball.
I don’t think Romney’s victory was due so much to money as to the “conservative” media’s shilling for him and people finding Santorum (and would have found Palin) as too conservative or unelectable to beat Obama.
Money is important, but I doubt it would have made the difference since those other forces are working against us.
